It was funny but Eish!

Today I found myself on a road so bumpy it would put a VibroMat¹ to shame. I navigated the rough terrain to Gwaliweni Clinic with a prehistoric Toyota Land Cruiser (affectionately referred to as T-Rex) of which I am convinced was donated to Mosvold by David Livingstone himself.

Prior to any clinic visit you are required to do a pre-trip inspection to ensure that the vehicle is “road worthy”. I usually check the oil, water, tyre tread, spare wheel, jack, spanner, lights and fuel level. According to my adapted K53 pre-trip inspection I felt that the T-Rex Toyota was “road worthy”; however I failed to check the speedometer and odometer until I was halfway to clinic. To my dismay I found that although I was in 3^rd gear the speedometer still read 0 and though I had been driving for at least 20 minutes the odometer reading was the same as when I left the hospital. So there I sat, trying to activate non-existent neural paths to try and “sense” the speed at which I was driving. At the same time I noticed that the petrol gauge seems slightly bipolar fluctuating between full and half full. Seeing as we made it back home in one piece, it's safe to say that the proverbial petrol glass was half full and not half empty.

¹ VibroMat is a piece of equipment used-it vibrates at a super high frequency and is often used in chest physio
